1. Salary is deposited on time at the beginning of each month.
2. Free lunch.
3. Salary adjustments are made every year in Q3 based on supervisors’ performance ratings.
4. Employee stock ownership is available (but there are strict restrictions on selling the shares).
5. Basically, all factories provide dormitories.
1. Non-shift workers are subject to a responsibility-based work system with no overtime pay; unused overtime hours automatically expire after six months.
2. The group meal budget is fixed, so there is no choice of dishes. If you do not eat the boxed lunch, the meal allowance is not refunded.
3. As in the technology industry, starting salaries are differentiated by educational background, with salary ceilings based on degrees. It is possible for a bachelor’s degree holder with 4–5 years of experience to earn the same salary as the starting salary of a newly hired master’s degree holder.
4. The factory environment is hot, humid, and noisy, with numerous areas posing risks of missteps or entanglement/crushing accidents. On average, each factory experiences 3–4 occupational accidents per year.
5. Some factory dormitories house two people per room, leaving no personal privacy.
A place to retire
The frontline technicians are severely overworked. At the paper products factory, you work 12 hours a day and may only get one day off after working six days. Weekly working hours exceed 72 hours. Shifts rotate once a week. The environment is hot and dry, and the older employees do not look after newcomers. Anyone who is not physically resilient should think twice before going.
The company really takes good care of its employees. It conducts regular performance reviews and salary adjustments every year, and offers employees favorable terms for purchasing company stock. During the financial crisis, employees were placed on unpaid leave and performance reviews were suspended for one cycle; the following year, after the company made a profit, it repaid employees all the wages lost during the unpaid leave and doubled the performance-based adjustments. The company treats its employees with great care, and the boss stays focused on the core business. It is truly a company that is very suitable for long-term career development.
The company is so good at taking care of its employees that it has many old-timers who only talk nonsense and do not get anything done.
Good company that takes great care of its employees. The pay is above average, and it’s suitable for those seeking stable career development.
